That’s why we were excited to have the opportunity to speak with Margot Kane, vice president of Strategic Initiatives at Calvert Foundation. She manages strategy development, fundraising and implementation of new investment initiatives and portfolios that target key impact areas at Calvert. One of these impact areas is the revitalization of iconic cities, which Calvert is addressing through its recently launched Ours To Own movement. Ours To Own, which Kane had a lead role in designing, lets individual citizens invest directly in small businesses and community development in the cities where they live. Though the movement is in its early stages and hasn’t yet come to Detroit, we’re excited by its potential. It’s one of the ways Calvert is helping to build the impact investment economy, through targeted products that connect investors to the causes and areas they care most about.

On Thursday, Aug. 7, at 1 p.m. Eastern (U.S.) Time, we spoke with Kane about Ours to Own and other Calvert initiatives, the issues they address, and the challenges facing impact investing as it moves gradually toward the mainstream. You can watch the Q&A below.
